Nickname: The Glens, The Afton

Adopting Glenafton Athletic means Scotland Scottish Cup results start mattering to you, a club going since 1930. Not a novelty, a habit.

Close to the pitch
Loch Park, New Cumnock holds about 3,400. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as The Glens, The Afton. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK) is about 27km from the ground, and New Cumnock railway station is 0km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
Scotland Scottish Cup is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. Scotland does not do easy neutrals.

Ground: Loch Park, New Cumnock. Go in a day early, find the pre-match pub, buy the programme.
